The State of Being Ready

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. * I am beyond glad seeing a super senior getting married to somebody whom I know personally. Though it is indeed surreal, I really can't fake my happiness. Looking at their wedding photos, both of them grinning at the camera, holding each other's hands~ They look sooo cute together! Alhamdulillah that they are united by Allah and I pray that their marriage will last forever, insyaAllah till jannah, for real :) aminnn (of course, this prayer is for my dear friend who got married last year too hihi) * I always like to discuss about the matter of marriage. (It might be because I accidentally bought the book 'Pemilik Cintaku Setelah Allah dan Rasul' when I was 14 haha. Maybe!) The idea of devoting a huge part of your life to a stranger and sharing (almost) everything with that somebody is just unimaginable.

Now that the class has ended (hooray!), I'm left with my wandering mind that has sooo many things to think of and has 1001 ways to keep me procrastinating - this is just horrible. It isn't surprising to receive comments from people who might say that 'budak-budak yang study luar negara ni takde kerja selain berjalan ke?'. I myself have had the same thoughts too. (Am still having them though.) I admit that it's our fault too, simply 'showing off' our holidays to European countries which seem too good to be true. People might be annoyed too yknow? With the spams, the unnecessary captions etc etc. But looking at the other side of
